Shen Wufei has worked in the Karma and Settlement Department for 317 years. His daily job is to watch the fate of others, record, file, and seal it. Her causal eye can see the threads of cause and effect on everyone's body - golden good, black evil, red love debt, and gray uncertainty. She has seen too many people's lives, but she can't see her own. Three thousand years ago, a senior in the Settlement Department violated regulations and then disappeared completely. He was erased from the memory of all life, leaving only a vague note: "Cause and effect cannot be replaced, and there is no way back for those who are replaced." Three thousand years later, Shen Wufei was ordered to track down the case. The only clue was a blacksmith named Ah Jiu - the rescued man now lives on the seventeenth level of the Demon Realm and knows nothing about the past three thousand years ago. But every time she was close to him, her presence became thinner. She began to forget her preferences, the names of her colleagues, and her life before coming to the settlement department. And Ah Jiu began to dream about the face of a strange woman. He asked Shen Wufei: "Do you know her?" Shen Wufei looked at that face and suddenly remembered - that was her own face that was getting blurry when she looked in the mirror in the morning.

In the Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Detachment, there is a legendary figure known as "Ghost Sees Sorrow" - Shen Mo. He has solved countless major and important cases, but he has always been an ordinary criminal policeman and has not been promoted in seventeen years. Just because he has an unknown secret: he can "see" the last memory fragments of the deceased at the crime scene. This ability is not a gift, but a curse - every time he uses it, he has to personally experience the fear and pain of the victim before death. Seventeen years ago, his sister Shen Yu disappeared in a mysterious fire and her whereabouts are still unknown. The only clue left at the scene was a copper coin engraved with strange symbols. From then on, Shen Sheng began a long dual pursuit: while using his own abilities to detect cases, while searching for traces of his sister in the shadow of each case. Until one day, a mysterious organization appears, connecting seemingly unrelated unsolved cases into a web. Shen Mo discovered that the "talent" he was so proud of was just an unexpected product of a huge experiment. And the murderers he sent to prison - because they were just pawns on a chessboard. When the boundaries of truth begin to blur, Silence must face the cruelest question: If even memories can be forged, then what is it that we rely on to judge good and evil?

When he was seven years old, his father taught him to listen to the sound of horse hooves. "The caravan horses have thin shoes and a crisp sound, like knocking on a porcelain bowl." "The horses of Junyi have thick shoes and their sound is muffled, like beating wet cloth." "The hooves of the fleeing horses are chaotic, like rain hitting plantains." When he was seventeen years old, he used this skill to save his own life. When the woman walked into the tea shed, she was soaked to the skin. She drank a bowl of tea and asked him: "Why don't you look at me?" He said: "Looking again, I'm afraid I will fall in." She smiled. It was the ugliest smile he had ever seen. Later he learned that she was not human. Later he learned that she wasn't entirely human either. -- "Do you know why I kept you alive?" "I don't know." "Because the first time you looked at me, you were not afraid, but curious." "Is this important?" "It's very important." She said, "I have lived for one hundred and seventy-two years, and you are the first person who is only curious and not afraid." "One hundred and seventy-two years?" He was stunned, "Then what are you...?" She thought for a moment and said, "It's a joke that didn't work out."
